Air NZ had this space (domestic lounge) but choose to close it.
I personally find it difficult to believe every hotel and motel in Auckland was booked out.

All the ones AIR could afford maybe.
Don't want to waste too much money.

Me too, but like my partner alluded to, at 10.20pm AIR probably cannot be bothered organising 200 odd people in hotels and the transport and cost that this entails.....

With the weather there was probably more returns or cancelled flights, both for AIR and Jetstar which would fill hotels and motels.

It amazes me how airlines including Cullen Airlines continue to make such a pigs breakfast dealing with passengers involved in cancelled diverted or delayed flights.
It is common to hear passengers angry, not with the actual delay or cancellation itself, but the way they were told changing and contradictory information by counter staff or simply ignored.
I know this is a problem involving the complexities of human behavior and the vagaries of airline operations but the airlines that does this better than all the rest would surely fly up the customer satisfaction ratings and attract more customers.

Indeed - problems always happen, it is how they are dealt with the counts in the end.

Interesting speculation this evening that @FlyAirNZ may be about to be hit with more Dreamliner issues due to yet another newly discovered RR Trent 1000 issue. Already AKL-PER flights cancelled next week.
